Token information

What is Tao (TAO)?

Tao (TAO) is the native token of the Bittensor network, a layer-1 blockchain designed for decentralized machine learning. Launched in 2021, Bittensor creates a peer-to-peer market where machine learning models and datasets are validated and rewarded on-chain. TAO incentivizes subnet validators and miners who contribute computational resources and intelligence to the network. The token functions as both a governance mechanism and a unit of economic value within Bittensor's distributed AI infrastructure.

The Tao price API is a data service that returns real-time TAO token prices sourced from aggregated trades across multiple exchanges. Developers integrate this endpoint into applications to display current Tao valuations, execute conditional logic based on price thresholds, or power trading interfaces without building their own data aggregation infrastructure.

DIA offers a Tao price API that combines on-chain and off-chain trade data to produce verifiable market prices. A free testing endpoint is available on this page for evaluation; it is not intended for production deployment. For production applications, DIA builds dedicated Tao feeds configurable by data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency. Developers can request custom feeds via DIA's Discord or Telegram.

DIA publishes a free Tao price API endpoint on this asset page, available for developers to test and evaluate without cost. The free endpoint is intended for testing and evaluation purposes only, not for production use. Developers requiring production-grade Tao price feeds or custom configurations can request a dedicated feed tailored to specific data sources, pricing methodologies, and update frequencies. These production feeds are built on request through DIA's Discord or Telegram channels, enabling teams to integrate reliable Tao pricing data into their applications with customized parameters.

A blockchain price oracle is an external information provider that supplies verified offchain data to smart contracts, enabling onchain applications to access real-world market prices and other information they cannot directly observe.

DIA can deploy a Tao price oracle on any of its supported 60+ blockchains, delivering verified TAO price data that smart contracts can consume. DIA aggregates individual trade data from 100+ exchanges to construct its market price feeds, covering 3,000+ assets including TAO.

DIA's oracle infrastructure runs on Lasernet, DIA's own Ethereum layer-2 rollup, which makes each feed independently verifiable. Custom Tao price oracles are configurable by data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency. Applications requiring production feeds or custom specifications should request them via DIA's Discord or Telegram.

DIA calculates the Tao price by aggregating individual trade data from on-chain and off-chain sources across multiple exchanges rather than reading from a single exchange or onchain pool. This approach captures trading activity across the broader market for TAO, the token powering the Bittensor network.

The sources used in the aggregation and the pricing methodology are transparent. For production implementations, DIA builds dedicated price feeds that are configurable by data sources, pricing methodology, and update frequency. These custom feeds can be tailored to specific use cases and requirements.

A free price-feed API endpoint is available for testing and evaluation. Production or custom feed requests can be directed through DIA's Discord or Telegram channels.

Tao is an AI compute token on the Bittensor network, where it serves as the economic layer rewarding machine learning validators and subnet operators. Developers can build several concrete applications using a Tao price feed.

Collateral management systems can use live Tao prices to calculate liquidation thresholds for loans backed by Tao tokens. Lending protocols accepting Tao as collateral need real-time pricing to maintain safe loan-to-value ratios.

Subnet reward dashboards can display validator earnings in stablecoin or fiat terms by converting Tao rewards to other currencies using verified price data. Decentralized exchanges trading Tao pairs require price feeds for automated market makers and order routing across pools.

DIA aggregates Tao price data from 100+ exchanges, combining on-chain and off-chain sources into a single verifiable feed. Developers gain transparency into which sources and methodologies feed their oracle, rather than relying on a closed-box provider.

DIA deploys custom price feeds across 60+ blockchains. A developer building on any supported chain can request a Tao feed configured by specific data sources, pricing logic, and update frequency tailored to application requirements. This flexibility eliminates mismatches between oracle design and actual use case needs.

Each feed runs on Lasernet, DIA's Ethereum layer-2 rollup, enabling independent verification of price data outside proprietary systems.

Developers can test DIA's Tao pricing via the free API endpoint available on this page. For production deployments or custom configurations, teams request a feed through DIA's Discord or Telegram.
